Puertecitos Sunrise

Puertecitos is a small town in Baja, Mexico on the Sea of Cortez known for its thermal hot springs. I loved the sharply contrasting colors from the land to the sea. Rusty reds turning into shimmering turquoise set on fire from the relentless sun. The sun’s powers are so enormous and its pull so great that it is drawing the seas into its midst. Both gravity and evaporation feeling the effects of our own mighty star. What would we possibly be without its warmth and stability? It is brightly illuminating the center panel of the 24-foot wide triptych shown below. Original painting is 96″ x 48″. Latex on wood panel.
